A Gurugram-based healthcare startup, Axten Hospitals, has raised Rs 2.5 crore ($300,000) in its first structured funding round led by PedalStart, with participation from a group of angel investors.
The company, founded by Gauttam Chhabra, focuses on delivering surgical care through a model that emphasises standardised clinical practices, operational efficiency and transparent pricing.
The funding comes after the company reported early operating momentum at its pilot facility. According to company statements cited in media reports, its pilot facility in East of Kailash, launched in FY 2024–25, generated about Rs 9 crore in revenue in its first year and was EBITDA positive.
The newly raised capital will be used to open three additional hospital facilities over the next 12 months. The expansion will follow an asset-light approach, prioritising partnerships, branding, legal setup and working capital rather than direct ownership of heavy infrastructure. The company has said it expects each new facility to reach break-even within five to six months.
Axten Hospitals specialises in high-volume procedures across areas including general surgery, orthopaedics, gynaecology, urology, ENT and oncology.
Its model centres on fixed-price surgical packages under what it calls an “Honest Surgery Price” approach, aimed at reducing unexpected costs for patients.
As part of its next phase, the company plans to introduce a technology platform intended to streamline the patient journey. According to the company’s stated plans, the platform is expected to help users discover hospitals, book procedures, manage post-operative care, and view pricing and treatment options.
The company has also said it intends to expand teams across operations, surgical coordination, patient care, marketing, and finance. IIts growth strategy is focused on major metropolitan areas.
Axten Hospitals has said it aims to build a network of more than 25 facilities across India’s top five metro cities and target Rs 250 crore in revenue within five years.
